How to Prepare Your Property for Sale During the Holidays

Selling a property in the middle of the December holidays may seem like a big challenge with all the festive decorations adorning the house. However, with a few clever tips, you can not only maintain the holiday spirit but also present your home in the best light to attract potential buyers. For more personalized advice, consult Alexandre Desrochers, real estate broker - Owner in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Chambly.

1. Limit Outdoor Decorations

While outdoor decorations give a warm and welcoming atmosphere, it is important not to overdo it.

• Enhance your entrance with minimalist string lights.
• Consider a neutral or subtly patterned doormat.
• Ensure that all decorations do not obstruct views or access to the house.

2. Favor Minimalist Indoor Decoration

Inside, keep the rooms simple so they appear spacious and neutral to buyers' eyes.

• Use neutral colors and avoid overly personalized or flashing objects.
• Limit yourself to a few key decorations that highlight your space, like a simple door wreath or an elegant centerpiece.
• Be careful not to hide features of the house, such as a fireplace or windows, behind too many decorations.

3. Highlight the House's Assets

Think about showcasing the strengths of your property that are only visible at this time of the year. Alexandre Desrochers, real estate broker - Owner in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Chambly, can help you identify these assets.

• If you have a fireplace, make sure it is clean and ready to be lit to offer a warm atmosphere.
• Use ambient lighting to highlight features of your house, like a beautiful staircase or a lovely veranda.

4. Schedule Viewings During Quiet Times

The holidays can be a busy time for many. Try to schedule viewings during times when potential buyers might have more availability.

• Prefer weekdays after work or weekend mornings.
• Make sure to keep your house clean and tidy at all times, as buyers may want to visit at the last minute.

5. Depersonalize and Declutter

As always, one of the main goals when selling a house is to allow potential buyers to imagine their own life in that space.

• Store very personal items like family photos and memorabilia.
• Declutter spaces to make them appear larger.

By keeping these tips in mind, you will be able to prepare your property for sale while retaining the festive spirit of the holidays.
